A national vote on immigration?
I'll be gone quite a bit for the next several weeks. Updating these posts will be catch-as-can. Until the next time, keep in mind this column by Tony Phyrillas of WebCommentary.
Though I can say I agree with everything, much of what he has to say is thought provoking. I am very concerned about the concept of putting the issue of border security and dealing with illegal aliens to a national vote.
If anything, most Americans have proven themselves shallow and ignorant of the issues. To vote on something this important based on emotion instead of informed decision would be folly.
You can be sure, if this issue was put to a general vote, the lobbying of the public would begin in earnest, with compassion struggling against the law against fear mongering.
On the other hand, a vote by the citizenry on this issue may be better than leaving it to the politicians. They've proven themselves to be caught up in the cesspool of pandering.
But then, if the voters have shown they can't remove the inept, corrupt and party-promoting politicians, can we trust them on this?
Immigrants built America; Illegal immigrants could help destroy it
